Anonymous has hacked the Westboro Baptist Church, revealing personal information of its members. Here, Shirley Phelps-Roper of the Westboro Baptist Church stages a protest at a school in Maryland. (NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images))Members of the hacktivist group Anonymous have targeted the Westboro Baptist Church after the hate-mongering, quasi-religious group announced plans to protest a Sunday night vigil in remembrance of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, 20 of whom were just 6 and 7 years old.On Saturday, Westboro Baptist Church spokesperson Shirley Phelps-Roper tweeted that the group would be protesting the vigil in Newtown, Conn., to "sing praise to God for the glory of his work in executing his judgment."Anonymous apparently vowed retaliation as part of #OpWestBor in a video posted to Vimeo under the handle KY Anonymous. "We will not allow you to corrupt the minds of America with your seeds of hatred," says the voice-over in the video. "We will not allow you to inspire aggression to the social factions which you deem inferior. We will render you obsolete. We will destroy you. We are coming."On Sunday, Anonymous posted to Pastebin a list of data that it claimed belonged to Westboro members. The data included names, street addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, according to CNET.The move was announced on @YourAnonNews, the collective's main mouthpiece on Twitter.

How is it a group like the WBC is still allowed to operate? Good on these hackers for stepping up.

Ok protesting the the soldiers funerals was bad enough. Now they're protesting the vigil for the kids who were killed in the attack? I didn't even think it was possible to stoop so low. Thy are truly made out of scum. HNnNgggG I hate the swear filters so much right now.

I honestly don't understand why their acts of lunacy aren't considered hate speech/crimes (WBC that is)?

I'll tell you right now that if I was a parent and they showed up outside, I'd end up in jail. Anonymous is fighting the good fight here and all the power to them. Anonymous hacks them live, on the air, below. But Shirley Reaper Phelps Smith Jones is a psychopath and doesn't stop spewing long enough to realize it. May she rot in hell or wherever they send dirtbags.

Although this is being discussed elsewhere, I'll leave it open. Probably shouldn't, as these lunatics don't deserve attention and seem to revel in it, but strength in numbers when speaking out against them.

And these froot loops are a classic example of people hiding behind the bible and their religious BS to spout unconscionable, unjustifiable hate speech. I was finished being "shocked" by anything this group does quite a long time ago. I've actually personally gone a few rounds with a WBC member on another website...they aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer, I'll tell you.

Well I tell you what Heretic..if Tim Tebow becomes Terry Bradshaw I will shave off all my hair, convert to Christianity, go into the ministry and become a preacher.

They hide behind the law. Most of Phelps' offspring are lawyers. And so is he.

No I had it right the first time....I believe the statement "These shootings are God punishing Connecticut for same sex marriage" tells you all you need to know. They may hide behind the law too, but it's quite obvious these cowards hide behind the bible and religion as well.

K...they aren't hiding FROM anything behind the bible...they are tossing around these homophobic remarks (and it's pure hate speech, let's call it what it is) and then JUSTIFYING their prejudice by invoking God here there and everywhere, like that somehow makes it ok.

That's what they want.......they're almost all lawyers and the provoke and then either sue for infringement of their rights, or for personal damages.

Counter protests that drown theirs out, or block their view of their target is the best bet..........the thing about free speech is that it can't just be the things you like

Until you need one, right? As in every spectrum of professionals, there are good lawyers and bad lawyers, there are good plumbers and bad plumbers, there are good grocery clerks and bad grocery clerks, there are good doctors and bad doctors, good dentists and bad dentists, good tree planters and bad tree planters........the list goes on.......

It's unfortunate that the Westboro lawyer bunch have chosen to become lawyers in order to pervert and bend the law to suit their own purposes.

I don't like anonymous (they are self-righteous, entitled, and small-minded most of the time), but they are a HELL of a lot better than Westboro bunch of (censored) (censored) (censored)! Of all the dispicable acts...
